What lens do you want to use with the D700? Normally I would use it with NN5, but you can give it a try with your NN3. Ask your local dealer if he has a NN5 in stock. Where do you live?

Hi Heinz

am in the uk and i have seen a few NN5's in stock on fleabay but may speak to the nice ninja people at photokina about the replacement. will be using the D700 with a sigma 12-24 so i need a rig that can cope with that setup and weight.

You should use a NN5 in that case. I use it with D700, D3 and Nikkor 14-24, quite heavy. The NN5 serves me very well, so if you do not want to shoot with long lenses which need 1,25°, a new option with the new ultimate serie, the NN5 will serve you.

Enjoy the photokina, and greetings from me to the guys at NN. May be you see Badders, reseller in UK. Or Vincen from France. Have a look to the new pole system!

I use D700 with NN3 and 16 mm Nikon, it works fine, litle bit less obvious than 10.5mmm and D300. But in fact I'm not sure to found the perfect setup ....A= 62 et B= 82 ?
Of course D700 pictures are beautiful, but sometimes I have stitching problems, more than with the 10.5 mm.www.cinod.fr

Your stitching problems might be more likely due to shortcomings your stiching technique than the panohead setup. Looking at the panoramas on your web site, many are badly in need of levelling to get the verticals properly vertical - e.g. Musée des Arts Forains. This only takes a couple of minutes at most during stitching, and the finished equirectangular panorama can also be levelled very easily. See http://www.johnhpanos.com/levtut.htm for PTGui help; Hugin and Autopano Pro have similar facilities.

Your stitching errors has nothing to do with your setup but they are typical for bad optimizing. Most probably you have not optimized for shift.
I can see that you have errors at around 45 degrees where the zenith meets the 6 around.
Even if you have several mm errors on both LRS and URS they should stitch perfect in a room like the theatre.
Mine does even in a room of 1x1.5m with such errors.

This is typical for shift problems and you have the camera which seems to have the largest sensor shift of all I have seen reported.
